Nice tour and very kind guide with lots of knowledge. The wine tasting was interesting but nothing real great. Good talks around history and wine making
Oscar was a great guide, knowledgeable and fun. Half a day goes fast but the experience was worth it.
Very interesting trip. Our guide Dulce was so friendly and knowledgeable, she made the afternoon perfect.
Impeccable! Dulce is a wonderful guide! The landscape is very beautiful and the entire experience went very well.
Great experience Lea was amazing, lots of knowledge and entertaining even in the van there and back.
Smaller group and good atmosphere. Everything went well. Tasted interesting and good wine.
The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. The wine was amazing would have loved to visit a second wine farm not just one and the little town super cute.
It’s a whistle-stop tour of beautiful St Emilion village, followed by a very interesting look around a vineyard in the most glorious setting nearby. The drive out is smooth and the vehicle comfortable. There is an opportunity to look around St Emilion but it’s only for a short time. You will feel that you need to return for a more in-depth look. The wine tasting was a fun and interesting experience and our tour guide was very knowledgeable - and quite opinionated about the wines we were tasting! I felt we learned a lot and enjoyed the tasting… perhaps some light snacks alongside would have been nice, in addition to the biscuits provided? A quick and easy drive back - even through heavy Bordeaux traffic. Overall, a lovely afternoon and one I would be happy to repeat. Thanks to all concerned.
Interesting & informative. History lesson of Aquitaine. Carol was personable & a great communicator.
Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Good wine tasting!
